It's said that a circle has no beginning and no end, and yet if you had made that circle by joining two ends of a line of string, there might be a knot to signify that at one time there was indeed a beginning and an end. This afternoon will bring such a symbolic "knot" as the moon goes from the last to the first sign of the zodiac.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whatever has been keeping you from saying what you think, feeling your feelings and acknowledging your needs will now be lifted. You'll be free, expressive and well-received to boot!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Stop making something else more important than your relationship with yourself. There's a juicy opportunity that will only surface when you're being true to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Each person resides in his or her own unique reality. It's a rare joy when you strike upon acres and acres of common ground with someone fantastic. There is so much to explore there — what fun!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone wants to get to know you better. Don't worry; you won't have to talk about yourself. Your actions will tell people who you are — no more explanation than that will be necessary.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There's a mounting tension that, if you let build without release, could be destructive. Let off steam periodically throughout the day. By the way, you could use a few more tools for stress relief in your arsenal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Details, rules, lists ... you care, but not to the point of preoccupation. You're able to compartmentalize your need for order. When you've done what you were supposed to do, you'll cut loose and have some fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your guiding planet Venus would like to remind you that there is no universal formula for beauty, humor, art or love. Therefore, you're encouraged to go beyond what you've been taught is "acceptable."

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don't assume that a circumstance is fortunate or unfortunate until you've experienced it. Your maturity in this regard will place you among the elite. Whether or not that is fortunate or unfortunate remains to be experienced.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Wondering if you're good enough? You can stop wondering now and never wonder again. You were born good enough. The real question is: Which relationships and endeavors are a fine fit for all your goodness?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your expectations might be derailed and, because you're well-versed in the art of making the best of things, this will prove to be a delightful twist in the action.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). After a week of acting according to plan, you'll be yearning for adventure, and you won't be alone in this. Suggest a bit of spontaneity and you'll have no problem finding a partner in fun.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because you're not wrapped up in what people think of you, you'll be the perfect candidate for drawing attention to a cause, entertaining the crowd or taking a social risk that will wake everyone up.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 18). You'll add relaxing leisure activities to your list, and pursuing these endeavors will lead to many magical connections and experiences in 2016. The idea you act on in March will pay off immediately and, if you continue on, then again in June. Devoted love will get even stronger through the summer. Pisces and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 11, 17, 8 and 19.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: It's not a game and there's no one to beat. You're all on the same team. This is the mindset that will attract love. TAURUS: Those who are not as conscientious as you may not do as you'd prefer, but at least they will make you laugh. GEMINI: Making a good impression on his or her family is a surefire winning move. CANCER: You really know how to make a person feel special, and this will give you a permanent place in someone's heart. LEO: You've compromised enough. Do the date on your terms in your best environment this time. VIRGO: You'll make the effort to dress better and get the attention of your intended. LIBRA: You'll be surprised what you start up with casual questions aimed at satisfying your voracious curiosity. SCORPIO: The company of a fun-loving, easygoing mischief-maker will help you forget your worries. SAGITTARIUS: Classy, polite and good-humored, you have the attitude people want to be near. CAPRICORN: Say little, listen a lot and you'll be a hit. Then the tables will turn, and you'll take the spotlight with eloquence. AQUARIUS: Praise won't teach you anything new but it will sure feel good to hear the heaping serving of it you get on Saturday. PISCES: If you're having trouble playing the role you want to play, try dressing the part.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Aries and Sagittarius rule the social scene over the next few days as the sun and moon favor their fiery intensity and the rest of the zodiac envies their passionate simpatico. These two do have a tendency to throw temperance and caution to the winter wind, so the ideal scenario will involve a designated driver and perhaps a few earth-sign friends (Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn) who are along for the ride.
